Note
Hello! I'm Muhammad Awais Asgher.
I am a passionate cybersecurity professional with BS in Cybersecurity, specialized in Security Operations Center (SOC) Analyst and defensive security. I am driven by the thrill of the hunt—analyzing logs, unraveling complex network anomalies, and building resilient, proactive defenses.
My approach to security is hands-on and colorful. Whether I am experimenting across my multiple-machine homelab setup, writing automation scripts, or diving into the intersection of machine learning and threat intelligence, I believe in learning by doing. I bridge the gap between traditional security monitoring and modern, code-driven defense strategies.
